Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle’s hood or trunk lid is clean and free of debris. Verify that the mounting points are in good condition.
2. Alignment: Position the bonnet so that its pivot axis aligns with the existing hinge mechanism. Use a level to confirm vertical alignment.
3. Bolt Securement: Attach the bonnet using the supplied bolts and washers. Tighten in a criss‑cross pattern to distribute load evenly.
4. Pre‑load Adjustment: If your vehicle requires a specific lift force, adjust the pre‑load screw on the gas spring until the desired tension is achieved.
5. Functional Test: Open and close the panel several times to confirm smooth operation. Check for any binding or excessive play.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage in the gas spring chamber.
• Lubrication: Apply a light coat of silicone spray to pivot points every six months to maintain smooth movement.
• Leak Detection: If you notice fluid seepage around the bonnet, replace the seal or the entire gas spring unit.
• Re‑balancing: Should the panel feel uneven when closed, adjust the pre‑load screw to restore balanced operation.
